I have been to the US and Canada a couple of times - but that was before Shadow moved in so I didn`t really pay attention back then ..
And since we are planning a long (maybe 1 month) vacation in New England in about a year or two I was wondering if it`s true that dogs aren`t allowed in most of the public places .. like here you can take them almost everywhere (restaurants, post-office, stores - except for the supermarket - hairdresser, McDonalds, Starbucks).
What "rules" concerning dogs have to be followed? Leash everywhere?
And then another question (which doesn`t concern our vacation): Here crates/kennels are hardly used and if, then during the first months only - and even that is a contentiously discussed topic .. I did keep Shadow in (a locked) kennel in the beginning - during the night and when he was alone - until he was about 4 months old .. now (at 8 months) he spends the nights in his bed and when he`s alone he`s free to choose his sleeping-place - I`ve kept the kennel (now open all the time), but just to feed him bones ..
Is it common in the US/Canada - but maybe not for you - to keep even adult dogs in kennels or is that just another of so many untrue rumors around here?
Just curious ..
